Testify Lyrics - Testimony - August Alsina

I remember wakin' up, bein' broke but still it wasn't breakin' us 

I remember why I broke the rules, cause I ain't really have nobody to look up to 

I remember cuttin' class, bein' bad, cause I ain't have what them other kids had 

I remember wishin' that I knew my dad, then I remember wishin' I could get him back 

For every night that he told me he was comin' and he didn't, for every single 

dollar that my mama 'nem was missin' 

For every thing I wanted and was told I couldn't get it, and that I had to face it 

that my daddy was addicted (damn) 

That's right it wasn't easy growin' up, mama was exposin' us to life as she knew 

it 

So we all went through it, I remember bein' down and out, sleepin, on my homie's 

couch 

In & outta trouble ever since my mama put me out

Damn it's gettin real, Damn it's gettin real 

Didn't graduate, I'm thinkin damn I gotta deal 

So I hit da block, sellin rocks just to eat a meal 

So I grabbed da Glock, kept it cocked.Peace is STILL 

In da back of da tracks, my nigga's stayed wit da packs 

And if a nigga was schemin', my brotha stayed with tha gat 

Yea, yea we stayed in da trap, yea everyday in da trap 

These ho's was chasin' da cheese, so we would stay wit da rat's 

And we was ridin down, dippin low, I stayed in da back 

In the X5 stuntin, we ain't know how to act 

Spendin' money like it's nothin, cuz we gone get it back 

17 never thought that I'd be gettin dem racks, had a dream but I said I wasn't fuckin' 

wit that 

Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fuckin wit that. but he told me that it wouldn't

hurt to give it a try 

Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see 25 

Right then I woke up, broke out, told my nigga's had to roll out, moved to the A 

and got motivated, that inspiration don't run out 

Heard my brother got gunned down and it hurt me to my heart, So I kept grindin', 

I kept pushin', he told me to go far 

So I can't stop at no crib, can't stop at no car, Gotta. Keep. Goin. Like there ain't 

no tomorrow 

So I'm goin hard everyday, til I got nothin' to say, nothin' can stand in my way, 

I gotta stay, to show my nigga's a different way (waaayyy) 

I'mma tell da truth and da whole truth, Cuz there ain't no need to lie 

And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, So I gotta testify 

For you and I, I testify 

I'mma tell da truth and da whole truth, Cuz there ain't no need to lie 

And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, So I gotta testify 

For you and I, I testify 

I'mma tell da truth and da whole truth, Cuz there ain't no need to lie 

And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, So I gotta testify 

For you and I, I testify 

I'mma tell da truth and da whole truth, Cuz there ain't no need to lie 

And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, So I gotta testify 

For you and I, I testify 

I testify, I testify
